1955 Mercedes 300SL Racer

This is an old AMT kit with some scratch building and some kit bashing from the junk box.

I like it. Decent wheels and no bumpers clean in up nicely. If only D-B had lost those wretched blisters over the wheels an reduced the radius on the windows, they'd have a damn good looker.

I like the stance and the those wheels look bang on, without the bumpers it actually looks more modern. It looks really cool in race livery.

Beautiful build! The overall style is so sleek it looks like its moving even in static photos. Excellent.

Cool kitbashing! New wheels and engine don't look much out of place, a very clever concept!
